Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 39

"Traveler, your hat and boots are supposed to be part of a set, aren't they?"

Hearing this, Ye Bai turned her attention to the owner of the tailor shop, whom she hadn't paid much mind to before.

The woman appeared to be in her thirties, with curly brown hair and hazel eyes. She wore a silk gown favored by nobles, adorned with subtle yet intricate embroidery that shimmered with a magical glow, clearly woven from enchanted threads.

When the shop owner noticed Ye Bai looking her way, she smiled softly, her red lips curving into a graceful expression. Her every movement exuded a mature charm.

As soon as she heard the words, Ye Bai knew she had triggered a quest.

With a quick scan, the shop owner's attributes appeared before her.

???

Identity: Owner of the Melo City Tailor Shop, ???

Level: ??

Occupation: Advanced Tailor, ???

Health: ???

...

Seeing the familiar string of question marks, Ye Bai wasn’t surprised at all. After all, this was an NPC running a high-end tailor shop in the inner city of a magical metropolis. Advanced tailors corresponded to professions beyond the second tier, with levels no lower than 40. Anything less would be strange.

Even though Ye Bai had already reached the first tier of her profession, she was still insignificant in Melo City, where second-tier experts were as common as blades of grass.

"Yes, do you recognize these pieces?" Ye Bai stopped in her tracks.

"Not only do I recognize them…" The shop owner covered her mouth with a chuckle. "If I’m not mistaken, those two pieces you're wearing are actually my own creations."

Ye Bai was currently dressed in a finely crafted leather armor set, with a snow-white sword at her waist. She wore a feathered hat and matching boots, looking no different from the NPC adventurers roaming the streets. Compared to the average player, who simply wore whatever gear they could find, Ye Bai had already set herself apart in terms of style.

Aside from special faction-specific attire like the assassin's robe, all outer appearances in the game reflected the player's equipped gear.

So it was no surprise that the shop owner recognized the set Ye Bai was wearing.

"What a coincidence," Ye Bai said, thinking that she had likely triggered a profession-related quest.

The shop owner continued, "Your set is only missing the final piece—a cloak. If you’re willing to help me with something, I can craft it for you as a reward for your assistance…"

It seemed the shop owner was about to elaborate and assign Ye Bai a quest.

"Wait."

However, Ye Bai unexpectedly interrupted her.

The shop owner was taken aback. "What is it?"

Ye Bai replied, "I don’t have much time right now. If you’re still able to craft it, how much would it cost to simply make the cloak for me?"

"..."

The shop owner was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting such a response.

Any other player witnessing this scene would likely be infuriated—how could someone turn down a quest that practically fell into their lap?!

Ye Bai, however, had her reasons. She was currently preoccupied with managing her territory and establishing trade routes, leaving her with little time to spare.

Some quests not only had time limits but could also become permanently unavailable if missed. Additionally, accepting a quest and failing to complete it in a timely manner could damage her reputation with the NPC and their associated contacts.

The shop owner was an advanced tailor running a business in Melo City, undoubtedly well-connected with other NPCs in the city. Losing credibility within her "social circle" would not be a good thing.

Yet, Ye Bai didn’t want to miss the chance to complete her set. Recalling her previous experience with bypassing standard procedures at Kazmai’s, she decided to try purchasing the cloak directly before triggering the quest—after all, she wasn’t short on funds, and if the price was reasonable, she could avoid the quest altogether.

After a long pause, the shop owner finally regained her composure and asked hesitantly, "Are you really that busy?"

Ye Bai nodded. "I’m about to leave here and return to my territory."

The shop owner, likely able to see Ye Bai’s status as a lord, showed a conflicted expression, as if weighing her options.

Seeing this, Ye Bai sensed that the situation might not go her way and prepared to take her leave. "In that case, perhaps—"

"It seems you’re not short on resources, but this matter… I can’t entrust it to anyone other than a Divine Bloodline bearer." The shop owner quickly interrupted Ye Bai, surprising her even further by making an unexpected offer. "I can craft the Feathered Cloak for you in advance, as a deposit. If you can truly fulfill my request, I might even consider opening a branch of my shop in your territory."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai’s first reaction wasn’t joy but alarm.

The quest system in the game was randomized through an algorithm. Aside from profession advancement quests, the tasks players triggered from NPCs varied widely.

Like the generation of maps, quests were divided into three major categories: Collection Quests, Career Quests, and Personal Quests.

Collection Quests were the most common and easiest to trigger. These were tasks where NPCs, based on their daily needs, requested various materials or items from players. Completing them rewarded players with items, experience, and other benefits. These quests were routine, easy to trigger, and offered modest rewards.

Next were Career Quests, which were tied to an NPC’s professional advancement. These were significantly more challenging and required players to meet certain conditions to trigger them, such as reaching specific attribute thresholds or skill levels. The rewards for these quests were correspondingly more substantial.

Finally, there were Personal Quests, the most unique category. These were hidden quests, and each NPC only had one. Unlike the other two types, which could be triggered multiple times, Personal Quests represented an NPC’s "life’s obsession." Completing one would max out the NPC’s favorability toward the player. The tasks themselves could range from finding a specific item to defeating a particular boss…

The only commonality was that the rewards were proportional to the NPC’s level and the quest’s difficulty.

Now, this shop owner was offering an incredibly tempting deal to a lord without even specifying what she needed—this had to be a Personal Quest, and undoubtedly a high-difficulty one at that!

Ye Bai immediately prepared to decline.

The reasoning was the same as before: the quest was likely too difficult for her current first-tier level, and completing it could take who knows how long. More importantly, a player could only accept three Personal Quests at a time.

If those three quests remained unfinished, even if a more suitable opportunity arose, the player wouldn’t be able to accept it. The system would simply notify them, "You are already burdened with too many others’ obsessions."

"Witnessing the legendary fabrics left by the Weaving Clan has been my lifelong dream. I’ve heard that the Chaos Faction has revived the Weaving Clan. If you can obtain a sample of their fabric for me to study, the Feathered Cloak and the matter of opening a shop in your territory will no longer be an issue…"

[Advanced Tailor ‘Dilina’ has offered you the Personal Quest ‘The Artificial Weaving Clan.’ Will you accept?]

The Weaving Clan?

Ye Bai, who had been ready to walk away, paused at these words.

This might actually be worth accepting!

Throughout the history of the game, a few other races had emerged, but by the current era, they had all vanished, existing only in legends. Only humans, with their trace of "Divine Bloodline," had managed to survive. This was why, in the game’s lore, players—bearing a stronger Divine Bloodline—were treated as neutral entities in cities.

As for tracking down the Weaving Clan, it would require seeking clues within the Chaos Faction, which specialized in biological and genetic research. They might have recreated an artificial version of the Weaving Clan, though it was undoubtedly one of their most prized possessions and difficult to access.

However, at this moment, Ye Bai thought of another place where this task could be completed—the Divine Realm!

The Divine Realm, as the birthplace of all life across countless worlds, still harbored many races with diverse appearances and abilities. Among them was the original version of the Weaving Clan, not the artificially created version by the Chaos School!

With a flicker in her eyes, Ye Bai chose not to accept the task immediately. Instead, she turned to the shop owner, Dilina, and asked, "Do you want fabric woven by the true Weaving Clan?"

Dilina was taken aback. "The true Weaving Clan?"

Ye Bai nodded. "Yes, the genuine Weaving Clan, not the artificial creations of the Chaos School."

"What?!" Dilina abruptly stood up from her chair. "How is that possible?"

This seems promising... Ye Bai couldn't help but smile. "Have you heard of the 'Well of Origin'?"

Dilina was even more shocked. With a wave of her hand, the shop's door closed, and a "Closed" sign automatically hung itself.

"The legendary Well of Origin... You—you have a way to enter the Divine Realm?"

Ye Bai's words had clearly shaken this high-level NPC. Aside from her, the game's designer who knew the walkthrough, no player had even heard of the Divine Realm. Even among NPCs, only those who had reached at least the second job advancement would know of it.

"Would I say such a thing if I weren't confident?" Seeing Dilina's reaction, Ye Bai instinctively began to negotiate. "But as you know, fabric from the true Weaving Clan is no ordinary commodity. The terms of our agreement will need to change."

Dilina frowned. "What do you propose?"

Ye Bai cleared her throat. "Well, I'm about to return to my territory. Why don't you come with me? You can help train the apprentices at my tailor shop and, at the same time, oversee whether I can complete your request. It's a win-win situation, don't you think?"

"..."

Dilina stared at Ye Bai, who was smiling confidently. After a moment of hesitation, contemplation, and calculation, she finally nodded slowly under Ye Bai's expectant gaze.

"But I can only give you thirty days."

"Deal!"

[Advanced Tailor 'Dilina' has issued you a personal quest: 'The True Weaving Clan.' Do you accept?]

Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.

[Yes]

[New Quest: 'The True Weaving Clan' added.]

Quest Description: Dilina has tasked you with finding fabric woven by the true Weaving Clan.

Quest Reward: Featherlight Cape, Temporary Technical Guidance, Unknown.

Time Limit: 30 days.

"Once you're ready to depart, come find me. I also need to make arrangements for the shop," Dilina said to Ye Bai. After she left, her apprentices would continue running the shop, though the quality of the items would drop a notch.

"No problem." Ye Bai left the tailor shop in high spirits, only to hear another system notification:

[You have gained 10 points in 'Deception' proficiency.]

...?

Ye Bai shook her head. She had merely negotiated normally. How could she gain proficiency in something as random as "Deception"? This system really was unreliable!
